Hey there! I'm K.L. Patrick, and I've been writing about Stoic Philosophy at MountainStoic.com since 2014. In that time, I've written more than 450 articles on that topic, which have been read by almost 30,000 unique visitors! Wow!, thank you all for that support.

All of the content I create is and always will be free. This is for two reasons: First, I want the benefits of Stoicism to be available to as many people as possible. Second, I want the purpose of my work to be its philosophical benefit, and not its commercial viability. I believe this is an important check on what can become a runaway sort of thing that is sadly too common among other philosophical writers.

Over the past half-decade of studying Stoicism, it's become clear to me that I would like to spend more of time studying, practicing, living, and creating within our School. The blog has costs associated with it, keeping it ad free, registration, and the litany of other expenses. For these reasons, I've decided to add some activities to Mountain Stoic which will permit some remuneration for the work while keeping the core focus the same. All of the content at the site will remain and always will be available without cost to the reader. Don't expect to that to change.

Articles, ebooks, and videos will still be available for free. Additional services like monthly video chats, coaching through courses, etc. may have costs associated. Here at Patreon, there will be several tiers ranging from "hey thanks, here's a dollar," to group video chats and Discord access.

Goals

Thanks for being one of the first few to lend a hand! When I hit my first ten patrons, I will release a thank you video (and if they like) the names of the first ten will be included.
